I'm not a fan of strict ones. I think you need to schedule in some type of "wiggle room", granted your wiggle is a new baby but I digress. You and your husband I'm sure will figure it out. Save for that retirement, though! That's something I'm trying to get myself used to do doing myself. :) And yes, baby bloggy goodness...send me the link. :) Plans are plans are plans…

I'm totally over the old plan, so I raced past that step this is so timely for me, i would love if you could expand on how you follow these steps when you get there, aprticularly make new plan.

I'm sure it comes in handy that BOTH of you guys like to PLAN, rather than having one person get frustrated at the other. You better send me the link to your new site! :) I think it’s awesome that you and your husband can work so well together to figure things out.

Cannot finance retirement. Plus? Your kid will surely snag some sort of scholarship. If your 401(k) plan allows loans, I say sock the $$ away there and borrow for semi-charmed baby's education if needed. This is a great time to buy a house in a lot of markets. Since you don't have (?) the full 20% down payment, look at 80-10-10 loans or some variation thereof. No PMI, more interest tax deductions. I thought interweb wimmins were supposed to stay home with their babies and write books for a living? WAHM or something? ;-) Just my advice: You can finance the kiddo’s tuition.

There are always minor variances which can be accomodated or planned for and I'm sure you and your husband will get back into some simblance of 'organized chaos' soon. Just think, children don't always work on an organized schedule either...think of this as practice! :) ~K You stated it perfectly - life does not always work out as people had planned via a spreadsheet.
